I'm rather hopeful about Molnupiravir, a newly-approved anti-viral drug that could help to reduce the effects of already-infected sufferers of Covid19. We paid for my husband's aged African mother in Abidjan to be given Acyclovir, to help her with a very bad attack of Herpes simplex all over her face.
It was swiftly effective, thank goodness.
These anti-viral medications could be a great weapon in the war against Covid.
